Triathlon Thank You!

Last week we had our Aquathon (Friday the 10th of March) and Triathlon and Duathlon (Saturday the 11th of March) in aid of the Irish Cancer Society, in memory of Brian Kane. Thank you all so much to everyone who took part and helped out in any way at all! We raised over €9,000 altogether for this great cause – thank you all once again. Below you can see some photos from the two events.

Held in our stainless steel swimming pool (one of the only ones in Ireland), the aim of the Aquathon was to ‘complete 20 lengths for €20’ and those taking part could choose to swim or either walk these lengths. There was a great fun atmosphere for this event with everyone happy to take part for such a great cause.

Both the indoor Triathlon and Duathlon had long and short relay distance lengths with the options for people to compete as part of a team too. For the day our aerobics studio was transformed into a Spin studio and we also had an official timekeeper and even a DJ on the gym floor to keep the energy high.

We already know we have the best members here at Westpark Fitness and as these events were also open to non-members, it showed how we are situated in the best community overall too! So many brands and businesses also donated prizes and donations and these included: Avonmore Protein Milk, Bewleys, Bosca Brewster, BWG Foods, The Cutting Room, The Cycle Superstore, Health Matters, iPro Hydrate, Lakeside Sportswear, The Lad’s Lounge, Leading Edge Marketing, Lenny and Larry’s, Londis, Marathon Kids Ireland, Molloys Bar & Grill, The Movement Clinic, Paddy Power, No Pain No Gain Nutrition, PT Ger Minihan, Reign Drinks, Si Beauty, SuperValu, Smurfit Kappa, System Heating and Plumbing and Tallaght Ink.

Triathlon Thank You!

We are so grateful to our members, the local community and to everyone who helped out. Between donating prizes, donating, fundraising and taking part on the day; these events were a resounding success made all the better due to the fact it was for a great cause.
